- What's the difference between the JC-406 and the JC-606?
- While the HI-550 and HI-660 were both designed for playability and
control, the HI-550 offers a higher trajectory and more forgiveness while
the HI-660 offers a mid trajectory with more control.
- What is the standard for length measurement?
- Clubs our measured from the heel end of the sole to the grip end.
- How about shaft characteristics and selection?
- Overall, we utilize shafts with the most innovative modulus and high performance profiles. Each shaft undergoes very extensive product testing to assure the proper shaft configuration has been developed for the best performance.
- Is it possible to custom order drivers with other shaft options, like Graphite Design or Diamana?
- We deal with custom shaft requests on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us by phone or mail for inquiries.

- What are the special characteristics of the SF-104?
- The SF104 provides a high trajectory with ultimate control and playability.
- How is the SF-104 when played together with a JC driver?
- Both the JC-406 and JC-606 are suitable partners for the SF-104!

- What's the difference between the HI-550 and the HI-660?
- The HI-550 has a wider sole and deeper CG for higher launch and more spin, while the HI-660 is recommended for the golfer who values playability and distance.
- There are two hybrid types--iron (HI series) and wood (UT-106). Is there any advice on which to choose?
- The HI series hybrids are recommended for golfers who have trouble getting the ball in the air and need added distance from their long irons, or for faster head-speed players who have trouble with ballooning fairway wood shots. The UT-106 is this easiest hybrid we have produced to this day. It provides high launch characteristics and superior distance and is the most functional of the two for all skill levels.
- What is the best way to combine HI hybrids with an iron set?
- A common mixture is to see HI-550 #3 and #4 irons with a #5-and-up TC-550 set. They can also be used to replace the #4 and #5 irons in a set for added distance with those clubs.

- What are some of the differences between the TC-550 and TC-770 irons?
- The TC-550 was designed with an extremely low CG, and provides the most forgiveness and distance of our irons. The TC-770 was designed more for accuracy, trajectory and distance control.
- How can you tell if steel or graphite shafts are better suited?
- When changing clubs, it is best to stick with something close in weight to your current set of clubs. However, golfers using steel shafts that want to gain distance and forgiveness may want to try graphite shafts.
- Are loft and lie adjustments available?
- Adjustments are possible on TB-1000 FORGED irons only, up to 1°, and should be handled only by Fourteen or authorized dealers.
- Are blades (muscle-backs) really all that difficult to play?
- Muscle-back irons are designed for ultimate playability and control, but are inherently less forgiving because of these characteristics.

- Fourteen wedges are famous for their spin and stopping power. What's the secret?
- The secret behind the Fourteen wedges, giving even amaturs that pro-like spin and control, is the unique face milling process which achieves a perfectly flat face, the precision-milled grooves, and the unique properties of the material used.
- How do you choose between the MT-28V2 and the Low Bounce version?
- We generally recommend the V2 (14° bounce at 58°) but the Low Bounce model is better for shallow swing types and/or players who want to open the face and use the bounce.
- Non-plated wedges tend to rust. Are there any measures to be taken against this?
- The best thing to do is thoroughly clean your clubs and apply an anti-rust spray after a round. If rust appears, you can use an abrasive pad to sand down trouble spots together with anti-rust spray. An oil can finish is also a good way to prevent rust breakouts.
- How about shaft selection?
- Basically, having a heavier shaft than what's in your iron set should provide a stable swing, even on shorter shots. For those who use carbon shafts, an NS Pro shaft might be your best bet, with Dynamic Gold for steel shaft iron users.
- Is there a standard for loft selection?
- Iron set loft settings and player shot tendencies usually dictate wedge loft selection. For example, players with a 45° pitching wedge might want to try a 51° and 56° wedge combination. Or, for players who tend to use a lot of pitch shots around the green for ball stopping power, we recommend higher lofts.

- What's so good about 38” mid-length putters (BR-II, BR-III)?
- The weight of the putter is 4 or 5 ounces heavier, providing a slower and
more stable stroke, for a straight back-swing and straight follow through.
Additionally, the longer shaft provides for a more upright putting
posture, which can alleviate strain on the lower back. This style of
putter is currently very popular in Asia.
- Is the BR-III legal for competitive play?
- The BR-III is approved by the USGA, so there is no problem. Its unique head design creates an MOI roughly 2.5 times the average mallet putter for unparalleled forgiveness on mis-hits.
